Angelic Upstarts?

Does anyone know the title of this song which Mensi is singing?

Thanks for that! I haven't listened to "Jarrow Woman" in ages--it's on Last Tango in Moscow, which I think I lost in one of my moves. The YouTube version is different from the one on the record, a little better maybe.

Thanks! I haven't got that Upstarts album. I think my favourite albums by them are '2,000,000 Voices' and 'Reason Why?'. I managed to find these 3 videos on YouTube off the 'Reason Why?' album.

I'd have to agree with you on 2 Million Voices and Reason Why (the latter, one of the first punk records I ever bought), though I'd add We Gotta Get Out of this place; really, all of the records with the Mensi-Cowie songwriting team are pretty great--to a lesser degree Still from the Heart, but that's not due to songwriting--more the misguided goal of going "new wave."

While not the greatest, Last Tango in Moscow has some high points--"Progress", "Jarrow Woman", "I think it should be free", "Machine Gun Kelly." If you can find it cheap it's sure to be a good listen.
